For home services
Booked in-home appointments for solar, HVAC and water filtration.
An AI appointment setter for home services answers every call and text on the first ring, including evenings and weekends. These leads are expensive and impatient, so we run the campaigns and book the in-home appointment while the homeowner is still deciding, which leaves your team quoting instead of chasing.

Example call conversation between Max, an AI assistant for Peak Comfort Heating & Air, and a lead named Dana.
- Max (AI): Thanks for calling Peak Comfort Heating and Air. This is Max, the AI assistant. How can I help tonight?
- Dana: Our AC is running but it's blowing warm air. It's 84 in the house.
- Max (AI): Sorry, that's miserable. Is the outdoor unit running, and do you see any ice on the lines?
- Dana: The fan's spinning. I don't see ice.
- Max (AI): Thanks, that's helpful for the tech. Do you own the home, and is anyone there especially sensitive to heat?
- Dana: We own it. Two little kids, so sooner is better.
- Max (AI): Understood. I can get a technician there tomorrow between 8 and 10 AM, the first slot of the day. Does that work?
- Dana: Yes, please.
- Max (AI): You're booked. The tech will text you when they're on the way.
Booked: AC repair visit, Tomorrow, 8 to 10 AM, First slot of the day.

AI appointment setter for solar companies
Solar is an in-home sale, so the sit is the product. An AI appointment setter for solar companies qualifies on homeownership, roof age and the current utility bill, checks that every decision maker will be there, and books the consultation. It never promises a savings figure, a tax credit or a payback period: those belong to your closer and the proposal.
The same agent confirms the day before, reschedules anyone who can't make it and re-books the sits that fall through, so your reps aren't driving across the county to an empty driveway.
Shared leads from Angi and Thumbtack
On marketplaces like Angi, HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack, the same homeowner often hears from several companies within minutes. They don't compare price first. They book the one that called back while they were still standing in front of the broken unit.
The AI agent calls within seconds of the lead arriving, checks the service area and the job, and books the visit. If the homeowner doesn't pick up, a text follows right away. Your techs show up to booked jobs instead of your office chasing voicemails.

Objections our agents handle
The pushback, handled.
We train every agent on your answers to the questions leads actually ask. These are the three we hear most in home services.
When a question needs a person, the agent hands off to your team with the full conversation attached.
- The lead says
“How much is a service call?”
How the agent respondsIt gives the dispatch fee you set and explains how it's credited toward the repair, if that's your policy.
- The lead says
“Can someone come tonight?”
How the agent respondsIt follows your emergency rules: true emergencies go to your on-call tech, everything else gets the first slot.
- The lead says
“I'm getting a few quotes.”
How the agent respondsIt books the visit anyway and mentions your warranty or financing options, straight from your knowledge base.

They've consistently been able to help me achieve at least 10 booked appointments on my calendar for both of my businesses separately every week for the last six months.
Jacob SnitmanBurke FinancialI don't usually do testimonials for people but we've been able to generate a tremendous amount of additional monthly income with Executive Stride. Their team is super supportive and basically hand you results on a silver platter.
Franky ShawFutrGroupI can personally attribute over $20k/mo of additional monthly income to Josh and the team at Executive Stride with their LinkedIn strategies alone. If you're not working with them I don't know what you're doing.
Stephen GomesRealtor Media LeadsGetting leads is fantastic, we have a small team and actually had too much coming in and I had to reel it back a little bit, which is a good problem to have.
Jacob SherrardElvt Marketing SolutionsSince working with Josh and his team at Executive Stride for three weeks, we have been able to book 35 qualified leads and closed 11 leads by using their LinkedIn system

Questions home services ask us.
Anything else, ask us on the call.
- Can the agent book straight into our dispatch board?
- Yes. We connect it to your field service software or calendar, so it only offers real open slots and the job lands where your dispatcher works.
- What about real emergencies?
- You set the rules. Gas smells, water leaks or no heat in a freeze can go straight to your on-call tech, with the details already captured.
- Does it work for solar and water filtration offers too?
- Yes. For in-home sales it qualifies on homeownership, utility bill or water concerns, and books the appointment with every decision maker present.
- Will it cut down no-shows?
- It confirms by text, sends reminders and reschedules anyone who can't make it, so your techs and reps don't drive to empty driveways.
- Can it check whether a lead is in our service area?
- Yes. The agent checks the ZIP code or address against your service area and politely declines, or refers out, jobs you don't cover.
- What about seasonal reminders?
- For opted-in customers, the agent can send tune-up and maintenance reminders on the schedule you choose and book them straight in.
